I walked into a 7th grade science classroom on the first day of my internship; it was the first time I was in a kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) public school classroom since 2003. I choose this school myself, in an affluent area of my home county of Forsyth, instead of being most likely placed in an “inner-city” working-class Greensboro school, as I felt this would be the easiest way to ease myself back into the K-12 mindset. This particular middle school feeds into the two highest achieving
1. In elementary school, I had two best-loved teachers. My kindergarten teacher, Dr. Barron had the kindest heart. My first day of school, I scarcely remember her greeting each student with a friendly smile. That first day we learned her class song. “Dr. Barron’s bunnies come to school every day, school every day, school every day”. Throughout the remaining years in elementary school, I would visit her class for a friendly conversation. My second favorite teacher in elementary school was Mrs. Jacobson
In my youth I used to watch Criminal Investigation shows on television. I was fascinated that by using a couple of instruments and reagents test they were able to solve those crimes and unravel the truth. These shows inspired me to learn more about these amazing techniques and thus my love for Chemistry started from that time. During my undergraduate studies I had the scope to learn more about these and found out that Analytical Chemistry was the backbone of all these techniques. And so I have decided
Even so, my selected career is nursing; I have education as my second option. I consider myself as somebody that always wants to be the leader, a person that enjoys taking care of others. I really love kids, and for me is exciting every time that I have to work with them. One of the reasons that I choose to nurse is because I love health care and the hospital environment. But if one day, I decide to change my decision and become a teacher, I think that I will be happy with it, because it’s also something
Throughout my academic career I have always struggled with writing whether it is for the English class or any other liberal arts class. In my English classes, I have a tendency to deviate from the given task. This semester I took a FIQWS Composition class which helped me explore the unexplored areas of my academic writing. There were three main essays (literacy narrative, exploratory essay and critical researched analysis) and each improved my writing tremendously. On the first day of class, I was
My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors
so that he/she may attain their goal or that of their higher up leader. My story of this life-long process starts on the first day of my High School career. I sit in my first class of the day and a tall, demanding man marches into the room with a presence that sweep your attention not with whimsical beauty, but with respect and dignity. Commander Starr marches into our presence demanding no less than every ounce of my first day’s jitters and focus. There was nothing else in this room than his presence
When I start the first day at my job everything seems okay and I feel very excited. To start off I am barely learning, I have no idea what is going on, and I am being taught how to do my job. It’s very confusing to start out because I have no clue about the job itself. When I get confused, often times the manager loses their patience and they might get after me if too many mistakes are being made. Furthermore, this results to many frustrations on job down the line, and now all of a sudden the thought
My first day of my foundation of college success class I was a bit nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Everything happen so quick in the past few days. I was excepted the 3 days before the first day of class, I had to get almost every paper that has something to do with my personal info and health in order to attend school and also didn’t get get a chance to go college shopping. I was the last person to enroll for classes, my advisor told me I belice it was maditory for all freshmens to take
For the first day of my internship, I participated to an orientation with the ODOT administration, and the human resources representatives. It was an information session regarding the safety rules and discipline. In the afternoon, I participated in a tour of the department and was introduced to various personnel. The second day of my internship, I was involved in a safety training, and some outdoor activities, such as flagging on the road side and backing up ODOT’s trucks. In the afternoon, I met
